1.5
1.9.0 was installed via homebrew (i.e. brew install julia) and 1.8.5 via juliaup (brew install juliaup; juliaup add 1.8.5).
I then tried installing 1.9.0 via juliaup (juliaup add 1.9.0; juliaup default 1.9.0) and now it works as expected (but the versioninfo() string is slightly different in the way it prints the commit hash? The OS string also mismatches, perhaps there's a library issue going on: OS: macOS (arm64-apple-darwin21.5.0) vs OS: macOS (arm64-apple-darwin22.4.0))

So there seems to be something going on with the 1.9.0 builds being published to homebrew.
